Public Meeting: Stop Bombing Iran

When: August 5, 2026 6:30 pm
Where: Online
Stop Bombing Iran
Cut War Not Welfare

Join this online public meeting co-organised with CND to discuss Trump's major new escalation in the war on Iran - plus how we maximise pressure on the new Burnham government to cut British support for US and Israeli aggression, prioritising welfare not warfare.

The US president's erratic behaviour along with the widening of the war is extremely concerning and an incredibly dangerous development. As Trump hits Iran hard, is the period of restraint over?

Join Stop the War and CND for an online public meeting to discuss how the anti-war movement should respond to this fast changing situation.

After two weeks of bombing a fragile "pause" in hostilities was announced only to be broken a short while later when the US struck dozens of targets in Iran on Wednesday night, killing three people in a residential building. In retaliation Iran has targeted US military facilities in Kuwait. Iran has said they will no longer allow the US to dictate when to pause and when to start the war.

This latest phase in the war has seen the conflict expand in the region with joint US-Saudi strikes in Iraq and the Saudis announcing a new offensive against the Houthis in Yemen. There is also concern that President Zelenskyy is attempting to merge the US-Iran conflict with the war in Ukraine into a single strategic theatre. With speakers including Shabbir Lakha (Stop the War), Atefeh Zandi (Iranians Against War), Sophie Bolt (CND) and Maryam Eslamdoust (TSSA General Secretary).

Stop bombing Iran - US bases out of Britain

When: August 15, 2026 1:00 pm
Where: Fairford
Protest at RAF Fairford

A US B-1 bomber flew from RAF Fairford to bomb Iran the day after Andy Burnham became prime minister. The majority of us don't want British bases used in this illegal war. Join us at RAF Fairford on August 15 to call on Burnham to send the US bombers home for good!

Now is the time for the new Burnham government to cut support for Trump's wars and profoundly reassess the UK's diplomatic and economic priorities.
